Paul Saladino

Paul Saladino (born 1977) is an American psychiatrist and health influencer who promotes pseudoscientific claims regarding human health and diet. He has been a leading advocate of the carnivore diet, i.e. a primarily or exclusively meat-based diet, a fad diet that lacks scientific evidence for its effectiveness. His book The Carnivore Code is described by The New Yorker as the closest thing the Paleo diet movement has to a manifesto. In The Carnivore Code, Saladino described plants as "poison". He also advocates for raw milk, despite the lack of evidence for any health benefit, and the risks of bacterial infection.

He posts on social media under the name carnivoremd2. As of late 2024, his Instagram account has around 2 million followers and his TikTok channel over half a million followers. He often appears shirtless in his videos. He has said his Instagram and TikTok accounts have each been banned once.

Saladino is the founder of Heart & Soil, an Austin, Texas-based company producing food supplements. Saladino co-owns it with fellow carnivore diet influencer Brian Johnson, known as Liver King. Heart & Soil sells bottles of encapsulated organ meat-based supplement products and liver pills.
